I just went to pay for something via PayPal. They default to using my checking account as a funding source. I usually want to use my debit card, so I have to change that every time. That’s okay, even though I forget to change it sometimes, and they don’t have a way for you to make it the default.

So, I’m at the payment screen, and I change funding source to my credit card. Everything looks good. Then right when I click submit, the page changes itself ajax-style, to use my checking account for payment. They REALLY want you to use a checking account for funding because they don’t get charged 3% from their card processing company.

Bastards.

Sometimes I don’t have enough money to pay for what I want in that particular checking account. Fortunately this time I did, otherwise I have to pay a $25 overdraft fee at my bank.
